Listen up because today I am going to
teach you some very useful phrasal verbs. What's up everyone?
My name is Wes. This is interactive English which is all
about helping you practice and improve your English skills and today I want to
teach you some phrasal verbs because we use phrasal verbs all the time. They are so common in
everyday conversation and
today I'm going to teach you some phrasal verbs that
are related to listening. These are listening phrasal verbs and
the first one that I have for you is listen up. I said it at the very, very, very beginning of this lesson and
all it means is to listen carefully. It's just you're telling somebody or
a group of people to listen carefully. So when I think about this
phrasal verb being used, I think about maybe a coach
talking to a group of players. They might want to get their attention
and tell them, hey everybody, listen up. What I'm about to say is very important. Or maybe a teacher would say
it to a group of students. They want the students to pay attention
and they tell everybody, listen up. Listen Up. No one mention
Richard Roper again. Listen up. I don't have to tell you
what this game means. Listen up. I'm hearing a lot of whispers and
rumors. All right, listen up, listen up. I want you to listen up because if, if you truly want to
improve your English skills, if you really want to improve your
listening as well as your speaking skills, then I would recommend taking some
classes and a great place to do that is at lingo,

verb I have for you is to listen in. Now when you listen, you are secretly
listening to their conversation. You are secretly listening
to what they're saying. We can also make this a three word, phrasal verb with the preposition
on and listen in on someone. Looks like Gary and Gertty are about
get briefed on the Yukata assignment. We should listen in. I can only assume that you're listening in. You've been listening in on our
conversation. Tell the FBI agent listening in on this call Then we have
here about, so to hear about something or maybe you hear about someone is is
just to receive information about this thing or or person did you hear about
what people are saying in the comments? You should go check out those comments
and while you're down there just write us comment because we love hearing from him. I know I hear about people
who are with hearing about how did you hear about that?
Hello, how did you hear about us? The next phrasal verb is here
from and you hear from someone. Now this phrasal verb has
three different meanings. The first meaning would just be you are
receiving a phone call or a message or maybe even an email from another person. Did you hear from your friend which would
just be like, okay, did they call you? Did they write you?
Did you hear from them? Will I hear from you? Did you hear from
the doctor? Did you hear from your friend? Did you hear from Bobby? Did you hear from Superman? The next meeting is just to listen to a
person or or even a group of people talk about a particular topic.
For example, maybe the school faculty is going to
hear from the students about some issue that's going on at the university. You would hear from these people we
still have from tonight's featured guest. As we begin our service, we will now hear from her daughter and
finally it means that if somebody is angry then then you're just going
to tell some other person about it. I think it's often used in the context.
Somebody angry and they say, you're going to hear from my lawyer. I'm going to tell my lawyer about
this thing that I am angry about. Or maybe somebody didn't apologize to,
to you and you say, you know, if, if he doesn't apologize
then, then he's going to hear from me. I'm going to let him know
about this. You have two weeks. Otherwise you'll hear from my lawyer, But you'll hear from my attorneys in
the morning. You'll be hearing from me Sherlock. You will be hearing from him,
Mr. Scott. Okay. Wow. I can be very, very persistent. Then we have to hear someone out and when
you hear someone out than you are just listening to this person. You are listening to what they have
to say and and you let them finish. You are not going to interrupt this
person because you are hearing them out. Think people frequently
use it when you're, you're maybe having an
intense conversation or a
discussion with somebody and you want this person to listen to you
and you just tell him, look, hear me out. Listen to what I have to say.
Hear me out Before you say or do anything.
Just hear me out. Just hear me out. It's called Hinckley Cold Storage. Just hear me out. Just hear me out. All right. They're playing cards in them
and I read his hand blind And I hope all of you hear me out and
listen to the lesson until the very end, because if you don't, then you're,
you're going to hear from me. You're going to hear about this. Another
great listening phrasal verb is here of, and you can hear of something and you
are just receiving news about this thing or about this event. For example, uh, I was shocked to hear of the sad news
or you could hear of someone and you're receiving news about this person.
For example. I haven't heard of anyone.
All right? I don't know anyone who would not hit
the like button for this lesson because phrasal verbs are amazing.
They're wonderful. I haven't heard of anyone who
wouldn't hit that like button, which is a way of me trying to tell
you to hit that like button. So why? Why don't you go ahead and do it? You ever hear of superman. You ever hear of KFC? The king shall hear of this. Pittsburgh Crawfish. Every hear of us? Now I won't hear of it Mo. You're a fabulous catch. Then we have pick up. Now the phrasal verb pickup
has many different meanings. I just want to talk to you about the
meaning that's related to listening. So to pick something up is
just to to hear a sound. You could also pick up a scent as well, but when it comes to listening you would
pick up a sound and what I think about is somebody who,
who's trying to listen carefully, maybe they have their headphones
on and they're trying to hear, listen in on a conversation and they were
like, oh, are you picking anything up? Have you, have you picked up the
sound? Can you hear anything? Or maybe you're trying to
listen to things happening in, in outer space and you're
trying to pick up some sounds. You're trying to pick something
up. Try the scanner. See if you can pick up anything. Don't worry Cap. I can handle it. It's all yours. If the scanner pick up anything, report it immediately. I tried to get a fix on Alphazentura according to Will's calculations. Picked this up instead. How about we talk about that other thing as mission Abdul picked
up on those little radio. The next listening phrasal verb is tune
in and to tune in means to listen to and watch a TV show or maybe
a news broadcast or, or even a video lesson. I really appreciate it that that all of
you tune into our video lessons and and hear me out. I am really
grateful for that. Thank you. Tune in next week called the exciting conclusion. Phil here. If you have tuned in
for WNYX is regularly scheduled. Can you tune into the cockpit frequency?
Yea, why? The next phrasal verb, and this is
probably my favorite one on this list, is to tune out and when you tune out,
you just, you stop paying attention, you stop listening and you
can tune someone out or you
could tune something and you're, you're just not listening to
this thing or this person anymore. And I really hope that you are not tuning
me out right now because you've heard about something else exciting going on.
Don't, don't, don't worry about that. Just just stay with me. I want you to
hear me out all the way until the end Children. Okay. Tune out. Some
secrets are coming out, right? Some adult one's. Look, when usually Amy complains about her coworkers, I just tune her out. It's just one more shift. Just tune her out and she'll
eventually leave you alone. And then we have, well this is not a
phrasal verb, it's just an expression, but, but I liked it so I thought I would
throw it in there and it is to hang on to someone's word.
Often I think the, the entire expression would be to hang
onto someone's every word and that just means you are listening very carefully
to what someone is saying because somebody is saying something
that is so exciting. It is so captivating that you just want
to listen to every single word that this person is saying and you
are hanging on to every word. But he hangs on your every
word. I'm asking. I'm telling you, take that responsibility seriously. I guess it's because we all want to
believe that what we do is very important that people hang onto our, every word. I now the leader of thousands of people, they all hang on my every word. So listen up. Now that you've tuned in
to this lesson and you've heard me out, now I want to hear from you and I want
you to write to me in the comments, and if you understood this lesson and you
feel like you can go out and use these phrasal verbs, then let me know in the
comments and I just want you to write, I am hanging on to your every
word. That way I know. Okay, this person was listening carefully.
They were not tuning me out and, and they have learned something new.
Thank you guys so much for watching. I hope you enjoyed learning these
listening phrasal verbs and I will see you next time.
